I started to work in the operating room after nursing school (complete). I was excited about my new job that I was willing to take turns between being tired and not being able to sleep properly. Like many jobs, the newness and excitement disappeared and I found (me) in drudgery(繁重乏味的工作).
One night I was feeling very tired, since I hadn't slept well night before. I didn't like the doctor charge, my feet hurt, it was very late, and I was "doing eyes". Every nurse has a favorite (and least favorite) task. My least favorite was eyes—I thought it was always either boring unpleasant.
My patient was an old man who was there to have his cataract(白内障) (remove). As the (operate) neared a close, I started to take the operating cloth off, and put drops (眼药水) in the patient's eyes. We made eye contact and I stumbled(发愣) slightly when he said, "I can see! You are so beautiful. "
I realized then how (true) thankful he was and I helped him see! I realized at the moment that no matter how I was feeling, it was what I was doing was important.
